Burn Permit Time
| From October 15 through May 15,
anyone starting an open-air fire within 500 feet of a forest, grassland,
or woodland must by law secure a burning permit from the Division of
Forestry. Permits are not required for burning in containers such as a
metal barrel with a ˝" mesh screen cover.
Anyone needing to burn within an incorporated city should contact city authorities about any local burning ordinances. Many towns and cities have their own burning regulations that supersede the Division of Forestry’s burning permit program. Permits from the Division of Forestry are free of charge and may be obtained by calling the Division of Forestry phone number for the county where the burning will be done or by filling out the online application Loudon (865)
